At the luxurious Roarke Palace Hotel, a maid walks into suite 4602 for the nightly turndown—and steps into her worst nightmare. A killer leaves her dead, strangled by a thin silver wire. He’s Sly Yost, a virtuoso of music and murder, a hit man for the elite. Lieutenant Eve Dallas knows him well. But in this twisted case, knowing the killer doesn’t help solve the crime. Because there’s someone else involved, someone with a more personal motive. And Eve must face a terrifying possibility—that the real target may, in fact, be her husband Roarke…

“The year 2059 finds Lt. Eve Dallas butting heads with the FBI in a race to take down a hired killer who appears to be targeting the employees of her wealthy hotelier husband, Roarke. Adding to Eve’s suspicions is the sudden and unexpected visit, shortly after the first murder, by one of Roarke’s boyhood chums from Dublin—a shady character named Mick Connelly who used to run with Roarke when they were petty thieves and con men—. Eve knows Mick is not the killer; in fact, she’s tussled with the prime suspect, Sly Yost, before, and his signature modus operandi, what he would call “murder with class,” is unmistakable. Sly’s an anal sort with a taste for fine art, classical music, rape and strangulation by silver wire. But, master of disguise that he is, finding him is virtually impossible. Since the murders all take place at Roarke’s hotel, Eve allows him to assist in the investigation, a stroke of creative genius on Robb’s part that plays on the strengths that brought them together way back in book one (Naked in Death), and that serves to bring out Eve’s softer side”—Publishers Weekly
